  1. the 3/4 inch requirement was done away with a few years ago.

     

    Pretty sure I read that somewhere as well. However, every teller I have gone to would refuse me tracking on a flat envelope(be it this was not long after I read they changed it, so probably just poor training to update them on new policies). The self service kiosk thing also still asks if it is rigid or >3/4" thick, in which if I want to send first class with tracking I would just select that option. 


  2. Are there people running store fronts with simply a cutter and a couple heat presses?

     

    I wouldn't even think about going with a store front unless I had multiple cutters (at least a small to knock off smaller decals and what not and a large one for larger item contour cutting), wide format printer (48"+ to be able to handle full color banners/signs and what not), professional heat press that I wouldn't have to worry about running large amounts of orders through, maybe some screen printing stuff for doing garments/signs and all that.

     

    Definitely couldn't see myself throwing down many many thousands to open up a shop with only basic equipment when you then have to compete against other places that are stacked with big time equipment in the back room.


  3. I just wonder if the used advertised Graphtec that JeremySI bought  with the unadvertised  (Signwarehouse board in it) had contour cutting..  Maybe he will respond. 

     

     

    I doubt it, their boards don't support it from what I am aware of unless you get the Q series(graphtec f series). That is one of the main reasons I was really pissed about the cutter, I was thinking of getting a sp300v and using the cutter to CC the smaller things that fit on it instead of taking up time on the printer. If I do get a printer this one will probably get sold off.
